Fantasy Baseball Week 12: Rising Stars and Slumping Hitters
Week 12 of the 2026 fantasy baseball season delivered a dramatic swing in performance, with several hitters stepping up while others slipped.
Byron Buxton has emerged as a catalyst for his club, posting a .405 average, a .463 on‑base percentage and a .973 slugging mark over the past two weeks, highlighted by six home runs.
Dominic Canzone continues to surprise, batting .389 with a .463 OBP and a .833 slugging percentage, having launched four homers in the same span.
Prospect Bryce Eldridge has shown promise, hitting .404 with a .491 OBP and a .702 slugging mark in just 55 plate appearances, already accounting for four homers.
On the downside, Andy Pages has struggled, slashing .189/.228/.321 and managing only two homers in the last 14 days.
Xavier Edwards is even colder, posting a .175 average, a .265 OBP and a .175 slugging percentage without a single homer in the period.
Riley Greene, while currently slumping at .200/.277/.350 with two homers, still carries the upside of a potential power surge that could revive his production.
